Excerpt from The History of Duelling, Vol. 2 of 2: Including, Narratives of the Most Remarkable Personal Encounters That Have Taken Place From the Earliest Period to the Present Time In the beginning of this work an account has been given of various traditional trials by combat and judicial ordeals, marked with a similar character of brutality and superstition to that which distinguished similar meetings in France and other countries; and it has also been observed, that it appears evident that personal combats were brought into vogue in England by the followers of William the Conqueror. But the barbarous practice of trial by battle was modified in our island by various circumstances, and was chiefly applied to three special cases - The decision of causes in a military Court of Chivalry; Appeals of felony; and civil cases upon issue joined in a writ of right. This last ordeal, until the reign of Henry II, was the only mode of decision. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The History of Duelling in two volumes is a historical work by British author J. G. Millingen. In this chronological account, author deals with the custom and tradition of duels from the dark age of civilization to the closest examples in modern age. Concerning the dueling among the ancients, author offers examples of Achilles fighting Hector, Turnus and Aeneas and other examples from Greek and Roman history. However, he makes a distinction between these legendary combat duels and later personal duels which were prompted by different causes and reasons. Religion and love are emphasized as two main triggers that caused numerous duels throughout the history. Due to sources and documents, the book mostly deals with duels in France and Britain, but also covers this practice and tradition in other European parts and countries.

During the Age of Revolution, Paris came alive with wildly popular virtuoso performances. Whether the performers were musicians or chefs, chess players or detectives, these virtuosos transformed their technical skills into dramatic spectacles, presenting the marvelous and the outré for spellbound audiences. Who these characters were, how they attained their fame, and why Paris became the focal point of their activities is the subject of Paul Metzner's absorbing study. Covering the years 1775 to 1850, Metzner describes the careers of a handful of virtuosos: chess masters who played several games at once; a chef who sculpted hundreds of four-foot-tall architectural fantasies in sugar; the first police detective, whose memoirs inspired the invention of the detective story; a violinist who played whole pieces on a single string. He examines these virtuosos as a group in the context of the society that was then the capital of Western civilization.
